Surrey, UK – July 2025
Luxury, performance, and innovation are at the heart of every Mercedes-Benz, but to keep these engineering masterpieces running smoothly, regular and expert maintenance is essential. A leading Mercedes-Benz specialist in Surrey, Finch Motors is offering their top maintenance tips to help Mercedes owners preserve both performance and value — without relying solely on main dealers.
“Mercedes vehicles are precision-built machines,” says a senior technician at Finch Motors, a trusted Mercedes-Benz specialist serving Surrey and West London. “With the right care, these cars can deliver exceptional performance well beyond the average lifespan.”
Here are Finch Motors’ expert-backed tips to keep your Mercedes in top form:
1. Stick to Your Service Schedule – Not Just the Dashboard Reminder
While modern Mercedes-Benz cars are equipped with smart service indicators, Finch Motors recommends referring to the official service book or consulting a Mercedes-Benz specialist for a personalised schedule, especially for high-mileage or older models.
“Your car’s usage patterns — city driving vs. motorway cruising — can influence service needs,” says the team at Finch.
2. Use Specialist Diagnostics for Accuracy
Mercedes-Benz models require diagnostic tools that speak the same ‘language’ as the vehicle’s advanced systems. Finch Motors uses dealer-level STAR diagnostics to identify and resolve issues quickly.
“Generic OBD readers miss important data. A proper diagnostic from a Mercedes-Benz specialist can save you thousands in the long run.”
3. Watch Your Transmission
Automatic transmission problems can creep up silently. Regular fluid checks and timely servicing (often overlooked) can prevent premature wear. Finch Motors recommends gearbox servicing every 40,000–60,000 miles for most Mercedes models.
4. Mind the Suspension – Especially in AMG and SUV Models
Air suspension and adaptive dampers are a luxury — until they fail. Symptoms like uneven ride height or knocking noises should prompt a visit to a Mercedes-Benz specialist in Surrey before issues escalate.
5. Check Tyre Alignment and Pressure Monthly
Mercedes vehicles, particularly performance models, are sensitive to wheel misalignment. Finch Motors uses laser alignment systems to maintain optimal handling, tyre wear, and safety.
6. Don’t Ignore Warning Lights — Even the ‘Minor’ Ones
A seemingly minor light can indicate deeper issues, especially in modern Mercedes vehicles with interconnected systems. “We always tell customers — if a light comes on, don’t wait. Come in and let us take a proper look,” says Finch Motors.
7. Choose Specialists Over General Garages
Mercedes-Benz cars are not like other vehicles. From their software architecture to their component layout, they require specific expertise and tools. As a certified Mercedes-Benz specialist, Finch Motors provides expert servicing and repairs without the cost of a main dealer.
